Adventure # 1

A Valentines Day Caper

It was Valentine's Day. Yes, Valentine's Day. The day that lovers celebrated together! Well, guess what? Grimmjow hated Valentine's Day. It was too pink and fluffy and he really didn't see the reason behind it, sure he had a lover but he really just didn't see a point in celebrating Valentine's Day. However, some did. Blue for instance had been excited about it for some time; she had been looking forward to spending the day with Hige, her new and fifth boyfriend this year. She just couldn't find the right person and then she found Hige and the two almost immediately fell in love. Kyoshiro however did not seem to have a partner yet, he just didn't seem interested. Weed, well, he was only a pup and was not ready for anyone yet.

Now, let me explain who these people are for a sec;

Blue is a wolf. Yes, a wolf... well she is half wolf. She can deceive humans into believing she is a human, like a trick of the mind. Hige is also a wolf.

Kyoshiro is a Kishu Inu, a type of Japanese dog. He is covered in scars, most of which he got while rescuing abused puppies from their parents back when he lived in Shiga. Blue taught him how to deceive humans as well.

Weed is an Akita Inu. He's the youngest in their group and the sweetest. He was also taught by Blue, like Kyoshiro, how to deceive humans.

Grimmjow is an Espada, a spiritual being or something like that. He left his home in Heuco Mundo, Las Noches, and took up residents in the human world, in a Gigai, a Gigai is a body normally used for Shinigami but it can also be used for Espada. The Gigai helps them be visible and can help them live in the human world and leave their body whenever they wish to go back to their original form, in other words they'll go back to their Espada form and they'll be invisible and have all their powers available.

Ulquiorra Schiffer is an Espada too, he left Heuco Mundo when Grimmjow did and also inhabits a Gigai.

So there you are, the most messed up group of misfits ever.

Now on to the story!

It was Valentine's Day and it was good weather, not too hot and not too cold, and people were bustling about in the streets. Grimmjow watched from his window, his blue eyes following the movements of the people below. He really could not understand how people could waste time doing all that stuff, it was boring. Ulquiorra obviously thought the same because he was not going anywhere today, the two of them just planned to spend the day inside, relaxing and taking a bit of a break from college work, they had both decided to go to college in order to understand the world they were living in and how it worked.

But at the same time even if he claimed it was stupid, Grimmjow felt it would be odd not to celebrate the holiday. The two of them had been together three months, and to him, even if it was a short amount of time, it meant something to him. Despite that neither of them were exactly romantic people and they were polar opposites, they'd somehow managed to get into a relationship. And besides, it was boring in the small apartment. He smelled something at that moment and he got up and went downstairs his stomach growling.

Ulquiorra had taken it upon himself to heat up some rolls he had gotten from a delivery yesterday. "Here," Ulquiorra said, passing him one. "They're crunchy but good…" Grimmjow just nodded and took a bite of the soft bread, it was good, a little burnt though. Ulquiorra, he noticed seemed to be in thought. "What's up?" Grimmjow asked him, tilting his head. "Nothing." Ulquiorra responded quietly. Grimmjow scowled. "C'mon, tell me." Grimmjow pressed. Ulquiorra glanced at him and said. "Don't you want to do anything apart from sitting around the house?" Ulquiorra asked him. Grimmjow stared. "No." he responded. "What's to do?" Ulquiorra watched him thoughtfully and said. "Well, we could just go for a walk. It doesn't seem either of us are particularly happy to be inside."

Grimmjow sniggered. Ulquiorra's green eyes fell upon him and he said. "What's so funny, exactly?" Grimmjow continued sniggering at him. "What, you actually wanna go on a date?" Ulquiorra blinked and then immediately took a gulp of his hot chocolate. The guy had a fascination with chocolate; it was cute at the same time as it was funny. "No." Ulquiorra said quickly, licking his lips free of the chocolate he had just drunk. Grimmjow smirked, watching that. "You so do." He answered, leaning across the table, smirking. He and Ulquiorra were almost nose to nose, Ulquiorra blinked, his face heating up. "Uh…Grimmjow— what…?"

Grimmjow loved teasing him like this; Ulquiorra's reaction was just too cute anyway. Grimmjow loved the fact that he could make Ulquiorra like this, suddenly speechless, nervous. And then Grimmjow snatched Ulquiorra's hot chocolate and drained it in a gulp, flinging himself back against his own chair and putting his feet up on the table. Ulquiorra's eyes snapped open and he glared daggers at Grimmjow, who was smirking. "You…" Ulquiorra growled and, from underneath the table, Ulquiorra kicked Grimmjow's chair. Grimmjow yelped as his chair fell back against the floor with a bang.

"Hey!" Grimmjow snarled, sitting up. "What the hell?" he exclaimed. Ulquiorra knelt down over him, his eyes narrowed. "I should be asking you the same thing." He growled. "I told you to stop doing that." Ulquiorra said coldly. Grimmjow smirked. "Why don't you see it coming if you love your precious drink so much, Cuatro?" he asked mockingly, the use of Ulquiorra's rank implying that he was accusing Ulquiorra of being two levels higher than him and still not being able to see the attack and prevent it before it happened.

Ulquiorra suddenly went silent. Grimmjow knew the answer; it was because of himself of course. Ulquiorra liked him, even if he didn't admit it. Grimmjow liked him too (possibly more than he was willing to admit) of course, but teasing him every now and then couldn't hurt, right? Ulquiorra did his fair share of teasing of course; it was back and forth, forth and back. Sometimes they didn't even talk to one another for a while afterwards, if the teasing got too out of hand they wouldn't speak to one another, but usually Grimmjow would go and apologize once guilt kicked in. Ulquiorra did the same, and still Grimmjow had no idea what kept them together, love, hate, both?

The doorbell rang. The two heads in the room turned to look at the door. Grimmjow sat up, rubbing the back of his head. Ulquiorra saw this and Grimmjow saw him frown. Apparently he was regretting what he had just done, a little. Grimmjow decided to curse under his breath and rub his head as he walked towards the door. He looked through the peek-hole. He didn't see anyone. He opened the door. It was a boy with spiky white hair and scars. "Hey, Grimmj—!"

Grimmjow slammed the door.

"Hey!"

"Who is it?" Ulquiorra asked. "Winter-wonder-brains." Grimmjow responded, rolling his eyes. That was his nickname for Kyoshiro. Ulquiorra opened the door and saw Kyoshiro standing in the doorway, glaring at him. "Thanks." He responded moodily. "What brings you here?" Ulquiorra asked him. "Well…" Kyoshiro thought about this and said. "Blue sent me here, she couldn't come herself, she was busy preparing."

Grimmjow looked over his shoulder at the mention of Blue's name.

"Preparin' what?" Grimmjow asked rather loudly, "A shotgun in case you came along?"

"Shut up!" Kyoshiro spat, stomping inside without asking Ulquiorra, the latter merely closed the door. "I'm surprised Ulquiorra can stand to live with you, Grimmjow Jaeger-jerk!"

Grimmjow turned around and snapped, "What did you call me, you dunderheaded jackass?"

Ulquiorra just leaned against the door with a sigh. He knew Grimmjow wouldn't really hurt Kyoshiro, regardless of how they acted around each other, Kyoshiro and Grimmjow were actually friends and got along most of the time. "And don't drag Ulquiorra into this!" Grimmjow yelled over Kyoshiro's next response. "Hey." Ulquiorra said but no one heard him. "Hey." the both of them stopped arguing and looked around at him. "Kyoshiro, you came for a reason, didn't you?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Oh yeah," Kyoshiro said, forgetting his anger momentarily, "I'll tell you, before Blue-Berry-Head interrupts me!" Grimmjow snarled an insult at him which Kyoshiro discarded. "Blue sent me here with these." And he handed them three cards. "Huh?" Grimmjow said, taking one and looking at it. "What the hell's this crap?" he said.

Kyoshiro glared at him and then Ulquiorra said, quickly so to avoid another fight, "They're invitations to a dance at the piers tonight."

"That's right!" said a new voice. Grimmjow yelled out and Ulquiorra jumped. Kyoshiro however started to laugh. A young dog sat in the shadows of the door, he was silver and white and he had big blue eyes. "Weed!" Ulquiorra and Grimmjow said slash yelled. Weed grinned. "And we are all going!" Ulquiorra then looked at the third card Kyoshiro had handed him and gave it to Weed. "That's yours."

"No." the pup said, looking it over. "It's not mine, I already have one."

Ulquiorra blinked. "It's Blue's." Kyoshiro explained, smirking at them. "And she expects you and Grimmjow to meet us at the piers this afternoon with it!"

Grimmjow and Ulquiorra groaned. "I guess we have no choice then." Ulquiorra said. Grimmjow growled. "Yeah, unless we wanna get beaten up for allowing Blue to miss her 'oh-so-epic' date with Hige."

Ulquiorra nodded, Blue did bad things to people who let her down badly, especially when they did it on purpose.

"Yeah…" Ulquiorra sighed and looked over at his comrade. "Grimmjow get a suit and a tie ready, we're going to the piers in a few hours."

Kyoshiro and Weed smirked.


The sun was half way down in the sky when Grimmjow and Ulquiorra met Kyoshiro, Weed and Blue at the piers. Hige was late, he had gotten lost or something. "Hello, guys!" Blue said, smiling. "Nice suits." She said, addressing the two in front of her. Grimmjow merely scowled and tugged at his collar. Apparently, Grimmjow had a habit of wearing his shirts open, or not even wearing one at all. He said it made him look sexy, but today he really had to keep his tuxedo closed otherwise girls would run off with him. That was what Kyoshiro had said anyway. Grimmjow was wearing a white tuxedo with a purple shirt with a high collar underneath it. Ulquiorra also wore the same thing, except his shirt was green. Kyoshiro and Weed were in their dog forms and they both had little bows around their necks. It was quite cute. Blue herself looked stunningly pretty, even more so than usual anyway. She was dressed in a midnight blue dress; she also wore a blue jean jacket over it, to keep out the cold.

Kyoshiro didn't seem to be able to speak to her properly for some reason, merely stammering for the right thing to say. Weed smirked at him and he and Grimmjow exchanged glances. So Kyoshiro liked Blue, did he? "Why don't you two take your human forms?" Blue asked. Kyoshiro said, stammering. "We…we…uh, didn't want to."

Weed nodded. "Anyway, you guys can understand us so there is really no need and it isn't like Kyoshiro and I am going to dance anyway." Weed murmured sheepishly. He was horrible at dancing. Blue could always understand Kyoshiro and Weed whether they were in their dog forms or not, being a wolf. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra for some reason could understand them perfectly fine; they could probably talk because of the spiritual energy Grimmjow and Ulquiorra produced.

"Okay," Blue said. "Shall we wait for Hige? Well, I'll wait, but you guys can go ahead."

"I'll wait with you, Blue!" Kyoshiro said and he hurried forward to stand beside her. Grimmjow stuck out a foot and tripped Kyoshiro, causing him to sprawl in the dirt before her. "Oh no, you should watch where you walk, Kyoshiro!" Grimmjow mockingly advised, laughing. "Grimmjow, don't be so nasty!" Weed scolded, nudging Kyoshiro to his paws. Grimmjow smirked. "Not my fault he can't tell my foot from his paws."

"You're so mean to him!" Weed said angrily, turning around to look at the man in front of him. "You're so mean to him!" Grimmjow mimicked in a high imitation of Weed's voice. "I know." He said, smirking widely. "Jackass!" Kyoshiro snarled, turning around. Blue stepped between them. "C'mon, guys. The night is young, try to relax and have fun! No more bantering, c'mon!"

They were halfway towards the doors when Blue's cell phone rang. She sighed and reached into the breast pocket of her jacket and pulled out her cell phone. "Hi, Hige." She said in an odd voice.

She gestured at them to go on ahead. Kyoshiro shook his head rapidly. Weed decided to wait and Grimmjow walked ahead, Ulquiorra following him. Grimmjow handed the man at the doors his pass and the man opened the door for him. Grimmjow suddenly heard a loud groan behind him and turned. Ulquiorra was rummaging in his pockets.

Grimmjow walked over. "What's up?" he asked. Ulquiorra just sighed and said. "I've forgotten my pass…I must have left it at home…" Grimmjow put a hand on his shoulder. "That sucks."

"Thank you for your comforting words." Ulquiorra said sarcastically and Grimmjow replied. "Anytime Ulqui-chan!" Ulquiorra glared at him as the doorman let out a snort of laughter. "Don't call me that, Jaeger-jerk."

Grimmjow blinked, "Hey…"

Blue walked up to them. "Is something the matter, Ulquiorra?" she asked him. "Yes. I was foolish and forgot my pass, I'll have to go home and get it."

Blue sighed and said. "I'm sorry…" she pulled her pass out of her pocket and said. "Here, you can use mine."

Ulquiorra shook his head. "Thank you, but this is my blunder. I'll be back in a bit."

Kyoshiro and Weed watched him leave and Weed said. "Poor Ulquiorra! Maybe I should go back."

"Nah, he'll be fine." Grimmjow said, he watched Ulquiorra leave and sighed. I'll wait for him. Grimmjow crossed over to a bench next to the railing and sat down on it, looking after him. "You know," Kyoshiro said, watching the blue-haired man. "He looks like a puppy waiting for his master." Weed grinned. "Aw!" he said.


Ulquiorra was walking quickly up the street; he groaned at his 'stupidity' and pulled out his cell-phone. "Yo, Ulqui!" it was Grimmjow. "Grimmjow, listen, I'm not going to be back for a while, go in without me."

"Like hell. I'm not going in there! It's noisy; sounds like it'll be a pain in the ass!"

"Funny, I would have thought you'd like noise." Ulquiorra taunted, smirking a little. "Oi! Shut it!"

"Really, Grimmjow—,"

Ulquiorra broke off.

"Huh? Ulqui? What's up?"

The lights in his bedroom were on. None of the lights had been on when he and Grimmjow left the house this morning. Ulquiorra felt his heart skip a beat and his eyes widened. "Grimmjow…I…I got to go."

"Hey! Ulquiorra, wait a minute! What's wrong, are you okay?"

Grimmjow's voice was panicked. "I don't think so right now. I think someone's broken into our house."

"WHAT?" Grimmjow yelled and Ulquiorra jumped. "Don't yell."

"Listen, do not go near the house in fact don't even go in it!"

"I've got to go, Grimmjow. I'm calling someone. I'm not stupid."

"Do you hear me?"

"It's impossible not to hear you right now; don't have a heart-attack. I'm calling the police." Ulquiorra reassured him.

"Holy shit…look, I'll be there in a second."

"Grimmjow, wait!"

But he had already hung up.

Ulquiorra sighed and closed his eyes. "Idiot."

He began dialing the police when suddenly the curtains in his room were drawn back. Ulquiorra looked up. Someone was staring at him from his bedroom, a shadow, and then the figure waved slowly, Ulquiorra backed away and then the lights upstairs went out. Ulquiorra retreated backwards. And then something exploded over the top of his head.

There was a terrible pain and he felt as if the top of his head had been cracked open, he heard voices, laughter then there was the sensation of falling down a long, dark tunnel.

The next thing he knew, he was waking up, his head throbbed horribly but the upside was he was lying on something soft. He opened his eyes and blinked several times. There was something leaning over him, a something with big blue eyes and a cold wet nose. Ulquiorra jumped up with a gasp and almost fell off the stretcher head-over-heels. "Hey, Grimmjow, Grimmjow, Grimmjow, Gri—!"

"What!" said a very loud angry voice. "I'm right here!"

"He's awake!"

There was a scrambling sound and the next thing he knew Grimmjow was beside him. "What's your name?"

"What…?"

"Oh shit…" Grimmjow blinked, horrified. "What's wrong, Grimm?" it was Kyoshiro's voice. "He's not answering! I asked what his name was and he said 'what'!"

"Calm down, Grimmjow." It was Blue this time.

"Guys…" Ulquiorra groaned, he felt dizzy.

"I'm sure he's alright!" Weed said he was currently sitting on Ulquiorra's stomach. "Oi! Get off him!" Weed jumped off and Ulquiorra took in a deep breath before he said. "Grimmjow, calm down…I am not suffering from amnesia, I'm okay." Grimmjow knelt back down beside him and sighed. "Okay, that's good." And then Grimmjow smacked him on the forehead. "Hey!" Kyoshiro and Weed yelled. "Grimmjow, be gentle." Blue coaxed.

"Are you stupid!" Grimmjow yelled his face inches from Ulquiorra's. "You go walking up to your house even though there's a burglar in it! And then you stay passed out for almost two hours! Not to mention you didn't show any signs of life at all! Seriously! You stupid…you stupid…" but for the first time in his life Grimmjow could not find a proper insult.

"In other words, 'Jow was worried about you, Ulquiorra." Kyoshiro said, smirking. "And screaming at you about how you looked dead is his way of saying he cares about whether you live or die!" said Kyoshiro in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Fuck off, Witless Wonder-git!" Grimmjow bellowed.

Blue walked over and placed a hand on Grimmjow's shoulder. "Calm down, Grimmjow." Grimmjow mumbled something.

Ulquiorra forced himself to sit up a bit and said. "I'm fine, apart from my head, that's a whole other matter." Ulquiorra said, not even bothering to raise a hand to his head as if afraid it would split open if he did. Grimmjow just looked miserably at the ground. Ulquiorra glanced over at Grimmjow. "Did they take anything?"

"Nothing is out of place." Grimmjow said, not looking at him but rather to his right.

"Ulquiorra," Weed said timidly. "Are you alright? What happened?" he began to lick Ulquiorra's hand. Ulquiorra placed his hand on Weed's head, lightly scratching the pup's ears. "I came home to get my pass because I left it at home, when I got home I discovered that the lights in my room were on, the next thing I saw was someone waving at me from my window, the lights went out and then I was struck from behind."

"Ouch!" Weed exclaimed. "They said your skull wasn't broken but they are afraid of concussion and—"

"Concussion?" Grimmjow exclaimed. "You didn't tell me that!"

"Oh, shut it, Grimmjow." Kyoshiro said, head butting him in the ribs gently. Grimmjow shoved the dog in the head. Grimmjow then looked around and said. "Don't talk so loudly! The ambulance dudes are still around!"

"Yeah… in the truck!" Kyoshiro said, but his voice was lower.

Ulquiorra suddenly reached his hands into his pockets, his eyes widened. "Dammit." Ulquiorra growled, falling back against his 'bed'.

"What's wrong?" Grimmjow inquired. "They stole my wallet."

Kyoshiro gagged on his own spit, Weed gasped and Blue face-palmed.

Grimmjow's face was set in a deep frown and he glared at the ground for a moment. "Get up." He ordered. Ulquiorra looked up. "Stand up, walk over to my car, get in." Ulquiorra closed his eyes and said. "Grimmjow, this is my business, not yours, so—,"

"Oh yeah! That house is mine as well as yours, dammit!"

Ulquiorra sat up slightly, his head was hurting still, but he pushed the blankets off and sat up, staggering a bit. "Did you see any car outside our house that isn't there now?" Grimmjow asked. Ulquiorra thought about it and then he glanced towards his house, Grimmjow's car was there, the red convertible, but something was amiss. "Yes. There was…a blue car there before, it's gone now."

"Right! We have a bit of a lead." Grimmjow said. "Now…" he walked over to his car and unlocked it, opened the door and called over to his four friends. "Get in, and hurry up!"

"But, Grimmjow, we called the police and they should be here any minute now!" Weed said, looking around the street, his pointy ears erect and listening. "That was an hour ago!" Kyoshiro said.

"I think we should get going, now!" Blue chimed in. "By the time the police get here they could be miles away."

Ulquiorra walked over to the car and climbed into the seat next to Grimmjow. The man opposite however suddenly let out an "hmmm…" and got out of the car and walked around it, and opened the trunk. While he was doing this, Kyoshiro, Weed and Blue ran over and climbed in the back seat. Grimmjow reached into the backseat and set a blanket up on the sill behind them. Everyone looked at him oddly. Grimmjow jumped into the car and looked over at Blue. "You're missing your date." He was smirking. Blue nodded. "Well," she said. "I'll pick one of my friends being burglarized over a silly date any day. Step on it."

"Right." Grimmjow said. Then Grimmjow was pawed on the shoulder by Weed. "What?"

Weed handed him a CD. "What the hell is that for?"

"You suggested I bring it next time we're in your car." Weed said, his tail wagging, his voice slightly muffled because of the CD case he held.

It was a Mindless Self Indulgence album.

Grimmjow grinned and said. "Oh yeah." And he pushed the CD into the player. The song "Shut me up" started playing. "Hold on, buckle up. Let's rock!" Grimmjow said, and then he slammed on the break. Blue, Weed and Kyoshiro and Ulquiorra were slammed into their seats with the force he took off with. Grimmjow rolled down his window and allowed the breeze to whip across his face and he grinned widely. "Wahoo!" the music was certainly fitting, the crazy song went along with Grimmjow's crazy driving.

"Thanks a lot, Weed!" Kyoshiro yelled, hugging Weed tightly around the middle. "You've driven him crazy!"

"N-n-n-n-n-no p-p-p-problem!" Weed stammered, his teeth chattering as they went over bumps in the road. "Grimmjow, you are going to kill us!" Blue bellowed. Grimmjow turned the music up louder and said. "This song is awesome!"

"Oh brother!" Blue said her blue eyes huge with fear.

Ulquiorra meanwhile was clutching both sides of his seat.

"Grimmjow slow down!"

"No way, if I slow down they'll only get ahead of me! They've gone out of town or they're still in it, I'm taking a guess that they've gone out of town! Anyway, the tire track went straight ahead!"

The red car swerved to the right and everyone in it was thrown against the right door. Left turn, everyone slid to the left, over a bump in the road, everyone slammed onto the ceiling except Ulquiorra, who was clutching his seat.

Kyoshiro was lying in the back crying. "Make it stop, make it stop!" Weed was grinning widely and bobbing his head in time with the music and Blue looked scared for her life. But meanwhile in the front seat, Grimmjow was grinning and Ulquiorra looked…bored, the only sign that showed his discomfort was the fact that he would leave nail marks on the arms of his seat.

And then they saw it, half way out of town, on the highline, a river below them, it was a blue car speeding ahead of theirs. Grimmjow slammed his hand on the horn. They saw two heads turn and the car drove faster. "Yeah that's it, run you little shits."

The highline turned into a mountain trail, Ulquiorra was sure Grimmjow's car would run out of gas before long. Kyoshiro was now looking out the window. "Who are those guys…?" he asked, staring out the window. "Sit down, Kyoshiro." Blue said. The car went left. Kyoshiro was slammed into the window. Blue and Weed winced. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra looked over their shoulders at him. Kyoshiro's face slowly slid down the glass with a squeaking sound.

"Oh my god, you killed Kyoshiro!" Weed said. "Bastard." Blue said, looking bored. "I'm not dead…" Kyoshiro said his voice odd.

Grimmjow was looking out the window at the railing that separated the road from the woods, they were rather high up. He seemed to be contemplating something. "Ulquiorra, get into the backseat."

Ulquiorra looked at him questioningly. "What are you planning?"

"Something really crazy." Grimmjow replied.

Ulquiorra watched him, half nervous half curious. "Get in the backseat unless you want to get caught up in it." Ulquiorra climbed into the backseat, squeezing between Blue and Weed. Kyoshiro looked very worried. "Grimmjow…" he said in a nervous voice.

"Kyoshiro, Weed, take your human forms."

They did so, watching Grimmjow carefully. "Now, you see that blanket on the sill behind you, hold onto it, tightly. You too." He said, addressing Blue and Ulquiorra. Blue and Ulquiorra held onto the corner of the blanket. "Secure yourselves."

Blue wrapped an arm around Ulquiorra's waist and Weed took hold of Kyoshiro's waist as well. "Don't let go of that blanket for a second. Ready….now!" and Grimmjow slammed his thumb onto a button. The roof opened and the wind blew into the blanket, Ulquiorra realized what was happening and latched onto the blanket with both hands for dear life, horrified. Kyoshiro caught on fast and did the same, Weed screamed and Blue gasped in horror and they both tightened their hold on Ulquiorra and Kyoshiro.

The blanket blew back and Grimmjow put on a fresh burst of speed and Ulquiorra and the other four were blown right out of the car.

Grimmjow smirked and continued to drive insanely fast. He was now level with the other car, the two inside looked at him and their jaws dropped in horror. Grimmjow grinned and showed them his middle finger. And then he swerved right out in front of their car. The car turned and smashed right into the railing. Grimmjow unbuckled and made to scramble right out of the back of the car.

Ulquiorra, Kyoshiro, Weed and Blue were flying through the air. "I am going to kill him!" Ulquiorra growled. Kyoshiro and Weed were screaming bloody murder and Blue was holding onto Ulquiorra's middle so tight it hurt. There was a horrible crash in the distance and a series of loud bangs. "Grimmjow…!" Ulquiorra gasped. "Oh no!" Blue exclaimed. "HELP, HOW DO WE LAND THIS THIIIIIING?" Kyoshiro bellowed, his eyes popping, his hair blowing fiercely in the wind. Ulquiorra looked around and said. "No problem with that."

The blanket caught in a tree, the two sides of the blanket twirled around the tree and Kyoshiro, Weed and Ulquiorra and Blue were tangled together, then the blanket untangled and began spinning and tangled again. "Oh god…I'm gonna be sick!" Kyoshiro gagged and then he slipped out of the blanket, his leg got tangled and he spun all the way out of the blanket and fell on his side. Ulquiorra jumped out, then Blue and Weed jumped out. "Hurry!" Ulquiorra and they jumped over Kyoshiro. Kyoshiro sat up and Blue's foot accidentally struck him in the chin. "Oops, sorry, Kyoshiro!" she said and she ran off.

Kyoshiro sat up and made to follow, the blanket fell on him. "Hey!" Kyoshiro yelled, and then he untangled himself from the blanket, he now held each fold and he ran off, attempting to fold it as he ran. And then the wind blew from behind as he appeared on the road. He looked down. The blanket was being blown forward. "Oh crap." He groaned. And then he was blown forward, sliding on his face on the ground. "Stop, stupid blanket stop it!"

Meanwhile…

Ulquiorra, Blue and Weed stopped at the scene of the disaster. Two cars lay at the bottom of a rocky hill, both on fire, the railing was smashed, and the smell of burning metal was horrible.

"Oh my god…he'll never have survived that!" Blue said her hand over her mouth. Weed was shaking from cold and fear. "No, he's fine!" he exclaimed, terrified. "Why did I let him do that?" Ulquiorra moaned. "Grimmjow!" he called. The other two began calling as well, looking around. Weed began to run down hill. Blue followed, walking carefully to avoid slipping. Ulquiorra just stood there, unable to move. "Why did I let him do that…how could I let him do that?" Ulquiorra shook his head. "If you died, I…" what would he do?

Blue came back up. "We can't even get close to the wreckage!"

Weed was sniffling. "He's not dead, though, right?" Ulquiorra didn't respond he simply stood there, like a lost child. The three of them continued to look down below at the wreckage. Then Grimmjow staggered up to Ulquiorra's left side, breathing heavily and sporting a badly scratched arm, looking down below. "Whoa…" he panted. Ulquiorra nodded. "Yeah." He said solemnly, glancing over at Grimmjow. And then he did a double take.

"Grimmjow!" he gasped. Blue and Weed turned and the both of them grinned broadly. "Grimmjow!" they both said. Ulquiorra gaped at him for a second. Grimmjow grinned tiredly. "Hey, Ulqui…" WHAM!

Ulquiorra punched Grimmjow in the face. "Hey!" Grimmjow bellowed. Ulquiorra grabbed him by the shoulders and said. "What the hell were you thinking? You village idiot! You…what were you thinking?" he almost yelled. "I had to do it, okay! It was the only way that they'd be able to stop anyhow! I'm okay aren't I? Yes, I am, so stop yelling at me!"

"How did you survive, though?" Blue asked, hugging him. "I jumped out the window." Grimmjow said, as if everyone these days went around jumping out of cars moving at the speed of light. "That was crazy…but incredible!" Blue said, shaking her head. Weed was nuzzling Grimmjow's leg. "I'm so, so, glad your okay, Grimmjow!"

"Me too." Grimmjow admitted. Ulquiorra was still glaring at him. Grimmjow glared back. They glared at each other. "I hate you." Ulquiorra said. "Wow, so do I!" Grimmjow growled. Ulquiorra shook his head and sighed. "Don't do that again, alright."

"Yeah, because jumping out a moving car was so much fun, I'm going to do it all over aga—!"

Ulquiorra kissed him. Grimmjow's eyes widened. Weed blinked. "Wow." He said. Blue rolled her eyes, half amused. And then they heard something. Grimmjow jumped away from Ulquiorra.

Two men emerged from the side of the road. Ulquiorra and the others watched. "You are going to pay for that!" said one of the men. They wore typical burglar masks. Grimmjow stepped forward, standing beside his friends, Weed began to growl fiercely. Blue stepped forward, her fists balled at her side.

Grimmjow stepped forward and said. "Why did you do this, you bastards?"

One of the two stepped forward and said. "Not telling you."

"Tell me!" Grimmjow bellowed. "Or I'll hit you so hard you won't be able to tell your—!"

"You sure you want to do that…?" the voice came from behind them. The four jumped and turned around. Nothing there, they were concealed in the trees. "Who is that?" Grimmjow yelled. "Who's there?" Weed began shaking. "Who…who is that…?" he asked, shaking.

"You want to know why they did it?" said a voice somewhere to the left. "Fine, we'll tell you. Because he deserved it."

Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed and he turned to stare at the boys, their hoods were down. "Who are you?" he whispered, sensing they were familiar. "Why, we're from your class, Schiffer." Then Ulquiorra's eyes widened. "I recognize you. You are from the college, you sit behind me."

"Yes, finally!" the man growled, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Is there any reason why you've done this?" Blue asked her tone dangerous.

The man stared. "Why we've done this…why else but for fun! He deserved it, the sick bastard." Grimmjow's eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?"

"I never liked him anyway and it's even worse when he's with you and you both are off holding hands and making out every opportunity you get! Guys shouldn't do that disgusting shit. Seriously what little freaks! I should have just burned your house down to show you what I think of your gay crap!" The boy let out a yell as Grimmjow's fist slammed into his face, there was a crunch as his nose broke. "You bastard! And that 'make out' was a fucking kiss on the cheek, you dick! And even if we did, it ain't anyone's business but ours!" Grimmjow snarled, throwing the younger man to the ground.

Blue made to go forward but then there was a scream. She turned. Kyoshiro was sliding towards them, the blanket blowing him forward. "Kyoshiro?" Grimmjow yelled, turning his head. Kyoshiro was flying towards the railing. "Kyoshiro, let go!"

"Kyoshiro!"

"Let go!"

And then Kyoshiro flew head long into the railing, with a crash, the blanket flew into the other boy's face and Blue grabbed him, pining him down. Grimmjow sighed with relief. Ulquiorra had closed his eyes. "Are you okay?" Ulquiorra asked, opening his eyes. Kyoshiro removed his face from a bent in the railing and said. "Yeah…I'm okay!" and then the railing tipped over and fell on him.

Silence.

"I'm okay….!"


Two weeks passed. The boys were taken to jail for a year, perhaps they were safe there, especially since Grimmjow had been hell-bent on killing them. Monday morning, Blue and Kyoshiro and Weed went over to Ulquiorra and Grimmjow's house, there something interesting happened.

Blue was sitting on the couch and Ulquiorra was staring at Grimmjow's injured arm for the tenth time this week. "Don't worry," Weed said happily. "At least you're both alright. It could be worse."

Grimmjow drained his orange juice and said. "Yeah, you could be Kyoshiro." Kyoshiro was sitting on the couch next to Blue and in between Grimmjow, his muzzle was bandaged and his eye was black.

"Shut up, Jagger-jerk." He snarled. Grimmjow grinned. Ulquiorra sighed and said. "I'm sorry you guys had to get involved in that."

Weed shook his head. "No problem at all! For you we're always ready, you're our friend, Ulquiorra!" said the pup, his tail wagging. Blue nodded. "You're worth it." Ulquiorra blinked. "Exactly." Kyoshiro said bitterly, rubbing his muzzle with his white paw.

"You're always worth it…" said a new voice. Grimmjow jumped and looked around. The voice had come from the hallway. "Who is that?"

Kyoshiro asked squeakily, crouching low. "Who am I? That is up for you to decide…" said the voice and it was now right next to the table. Weed gasped and hid under the coffee table, his paws over his eyes. Blue sat up and said. "Show yourself!" she order boldly.

"I cannot…I am nether body nor spirit."

Ulquiorra and Grimmjow exchanged horrified glances. "Anyway…" and the voice was right next to Ulquiorra and he jumped away from the spot. "You already know me."

"What?" Kyoshiro gasped. "No! Leave me alone! I'm too young to die! Forgive me for whatever wrong I've done!" Kyoshiro hid his face in his paws like Weed and dove under the coffee table. "My name is…" and then Grimmjow spoke. "Grimmjow Jaegerjaques."

And everyone in the room wheeled around to stare at him. "WHAT?" Kyoshiro bellowed, his eyes bulging. Weed stared at him. "How did you do that?" he gasped, amazed. "Grimmjow…" Blue murmured. "You show off!" she smacked him on the knee. "Yeah, sure, give me a heart attack!" Kyoshiro yelled, crossing his arms over his chest. Ulquiorra looked at Grimmjow and shook his head. "Grimmjow, you caught on pretty fast to my suspicions. But how you learned so fast is beyond me."

Grimmjow grinned and said. "After our little adventure I began to wonder just how many boys there had been in the trees, Ulquiorra believed that those brats were throwing their voices around the woods so we would be afraid to attack them, of course it didn't work." Grimmjow said, refilling his glass of orange juice, "It was easy to learn, some people can master it faster than others if they pay close attention to the instructions and everything. I have been practicing for a week, looking for the perfect opportunity to test it and voila!" Grimmjow grinned and prepared to drink his juice when Kyoshiro said. "And what was this thing you were practicing?"

Grimmjow smirked and said. "Ventriloquism." And he drained the glass of juice in one.


I rewrote most of this chapter. I had a bit of a problem with the way it was written because it was written in a hurry so some things felt sloppy. :)
